In this guide, you will be removing the screen from the phone, so that you may replace a cracked or malfunctioning screen. This will involve prying the screen out of the phone, unscrewing the motherboard, and disconnecting the screen tether from the motherboard.

While holding the battery release button, pull the bottom end of the phone out of the body.
-
-
-
Insert the sim card eject tool (0.8mm sim card eject head) into the small hole on the sim card tray.
-
Press inward with some force to eject the tray.
-
Pull the sim card tray out of the phone.
-
-
-
Remove the two 5.5mm Phillips #00 screws from the base of the phone.
-
-
-
Insert the plastic opening tool into the seam between the glass screen and the metal body.
-
Pry the glass from the body only a slight amount.
Holy this step is hard
It is, i can’t seem to do it too easily either. Maybe i need to heat it up? I don’t want to damage it as it will still be used as a camera.
ayeeeee -
-
-
-
-
Insert the Spudger into the now open space between the body and screen.
-
Push inward to separate the screen even more.
-
Slowly slide the nylon spudger up the edge the phone till the screen pops out of the body.
My LCD started to let loose using this way to saparate the top and bottom of the phone.
I used a guitar pick and slided it from the bottom to the top like the dude in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV10zyw8...
Didn’t had to use a lot of force this way, and my screen almost didn’t bend !
Yep! I did it also with this method. Wayy better and easier ;)
My screen cracked taking it out following ifixit method . Right when I got to the part where it starts to curve at the top. Just shattered.
I found it easier to run the tool or a pick along the sides, and then sort of hinge the thing open at the top rather than running completely around the screen. It gets a little dicey where the glass starts to curve.
-
-
-
Peel the screen away from the body. The two parts should be completely separated.
-
-
-
Once the screen has been separated from the back of the phone, now you can remove the motherboard.
-
Using the #00 Philips head, remove the six 2.7mm Phillips screws.
Pry up on the connector to remove the camera before trying to lift motherboard
That is so important he needs to edit this quickly
need to remove the 1 back & the fromt camera connectors..
-
-
-
Insert the plastic opening tool between the screen-ribbon-connector and the motherboard, then pull up. It should pop out easily.
-
-
-
Separate the motherboard of the phone from the screen of the phone
Don't forget to take out the speaker and the rubber parts that need to be transferred to the other frame.
where and the !&&* are pictures or even any explanation whatsoever of replacing a cracked screen one wrong move via this poor por set instruction fricking breaks it all this guide should be removed now!
I had to move over from old to new assembly:
rubberpart next to speaker contacts
flat plasticpart under speaker
speaker
rubberpart between speaker and front camera, sits then on two tiny sensors on motherboard
all 3 cameras
We had to move to the new assembly:
tiny rubber part to the left of the speaker contacts (pinned by the plastic speaker housing)
speaker (aka earpiece - step 10)
plastic speaker housing (aka earpiece casing - step 11)
tiny front facing camera
left rear camera (the middle rear camera stayed on the logic board).
other than that, the guide, combined with careful observation, was help us successfully replace the broken screen.

Make sure to transfer the earpiece from the old screen to the new screen or else you wouldn't be able to hear anyone when you make phone calls!
-
The component is fragile so don't try to force it to come out with a pair of tweezers. A pick should be able to wedge it out.
-
Be careful with the adhesive that's connected to it. It's easy to pull out.
I have a G5 SE. The earpiece is slightly different. I pried close to the screw and the whole plastic casing came out as one. Skip step 11. The regular G5 looks like this guide.

-
-
Also remove the earpiece casing from the old screen by popping it out with a pair of tweezers.

I just did a screen replacement following this guide. The #000 phillips fit a lot better than the #00, but otherwise this guide was great. It took about 15 minutes to do from start to finish and I'd say it was one of the more easy replacements I've had to do, since there were minimal components that had to be transferred over from the old to the new screen.
Thanks!
this is great - success - thank you. A little confusing between step 4 and 5 as I think you reverse angles on the photos - in step 4 the motherboard is right under where you have the opening tool and in step 5 you have the spudger on the other side.
one of the 2 screws from the bottom pinged across the room when I did this and I'm pretty sure I don't have any hope of finding it perhaps until I move house. Any ideas on where I can find another? UK based. replacebase doesn't have them. It works fine without, just would like it screwed together properly...
Followed these steps no problem. Only heads up: Make sure that the replacement screen you buy comes a speaker, or make sure you move your old one over. This step isn't shown in the above, and was required for me.
I think the guide could be a bit more completed. Its vague and doesn't seem like a full repair guide.
seems vague at first look, but there is really nothing more to add expect changing the speaker to the new display.
Screen replaced bit now no Wi-Fi
Is there any solutions to this ?
I have tried bending the contact pins out but this has made no difference
There are components that must be heated to be removed after the last step of this process.
I lost the notification LED light after the replacement of the screen, toggling in setting has no effect. Don’t know if it’s the replacement part or something I did.
There is a rubber part that lies in front of your proximity sensor on your main board that may not be included with your new screen (I’ve had 2 screens come with and two without). If you are experiencing proximity sensor issues it is likely because you forgot to move this part because it was not included with your new screen.
You explain everything well except you did not mention that the camera lens also need to be swapped to the new screen, similar to the ear piece
Followed the steps above - good guide. I would add a step between 7 and 8 to disconnect the left camera. Also show a picture after step 11 as the ear piece casing has a plastic surround that comes with it.
My version doesn’t have a battery release or sim card - is it still ok to do a screen replacement using this guide?
Screen displays half 🌗 display and cannot control/access icons,what's the solution LG G5
